'Love jihad': UK Sikh girls' exploitation worries Takht

The Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhism, has taken a serious view of reports of Sikh girls falling victim to 'love jihad' an act that involves 'charming' Pakistani youths attempting to impress, marry and convert non-Muslim girls to Islam for using them in jihadi efforts.
The Akal Takht is concerned as along with Hindu and Christian girls, Sikh girls have also become targets of the 'love jihad' movement. Reports suggest that some radical Islamic groups are behind this movement.
This matter has been brought to the notice of the Takht by some NRI Sikhs and members of the Sikh Council of UK, an organisation involved in religious, social and cultural matters related to Sikhism. Its members include some prominent UK-based Sikhs such as representatives of prominent gurdwaras.
The issue came up for discussion during the meeting of the Sikh high priests held here on Monday. Akal Takht jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh presided over the meeting. Takht Keshgarh Sahib jathedar Giani Mal Singh, Takht Damdama Sahib jathedar Giani Balwant Singh Nandgarh, Harmandar Sahib head granthi Giani Jagtar Singh and Harmandar Sahib granthi Giani Sukhjinder Singh were present at the meeting.
"We have asked the Sikh Council of UK to look into the matter and send us a detailed report," Giani Gurbachan Singh said while talking to the media after the meeting.
The Sikh Council brought this to the notice of the Akal Takht after getting reports of girls from England-based Sikh families being trapped in 'love jihad'. The reports also referred to these girls being exploited in various ways by their husbands and in-laws. Some of these girls were later dumped by their husbands in Pakistan, where the in-laws have been using them as domestic help.
"The Sikh Council has rescued some of the victims (girls) and brought them back to their parents," the Takht jathedar said. When asked how many such cases existed in the UK or England, he replied, "There could be hundreds."
He made it clear that the Sikh Council had been asked to take whatever steps it considered appropriate to halt this exploitation. It has been asked to consult other Sikh religious and social groups.
"The Sikh Council can even take legal measures to check this exploitation. However, whatever it does, the Akal Takht must be kept informed," the jathedar added.
He also called upon parents to create awareness among children about Sikh religion and ethos. Only if awareness is created can such inter-religion marriages be halted, he opined.
The 'love jihad' movement is said to have its roots in Kerala and other southern states, where Christian and Hindu girls have been targeted. It has been the cause of tension in these states.
The Commission for Social Harmony and Vigilance of the Kerala Catholic Bishops Council conducted a report which highlighted the grave nature of love jihadists. The report said, "There were 2,868 female victims of the 'love jihad' in Kerala from 2006 to 2009."

I think pakistanis want to make UK a "land of pure" . It is easy for any good looking guy to charm a good looking girl and make her to accept his faith(girls are proving to be volatile material). Kareena kapoor is an exception though :thumb:.

Kareena was raised a Christian & currently, she is not a devout adherent of any particular religion. Bollywood is said to be really secular

Love Jihad was one of the major causes of Muzaffarnagar riots. Now, the jihadis are paying through the nose.

Some Abrahamic faiths come with this kind of ideologies. Most of these men say they did it because some holy book said so and expect some favors from GOD. Similarly people expect some thing from GOD since they have converted some one to their faith. It is like give and take relation between GOD and people.

Yeah, but in case of Pakis in India, this is a meticulously planned campaign. Just google about the "Love Jihad" angle in muzaffaranagar riots, you would understand the enormity of the situation & the helplessness of victim families.

It is quite entertaining to learn the modus-operandi of these Jihadi volunteers who assume neutral Hindu names when enticing Hindu/Sikh gals, get cool bikes, googles, own mobile shops etc. & how they trap them under their vicious tentacles.

These gals earnestly deserve all that is coming their way. But, I do have sympathy for the families whose lives are shattered & psyche traumatized beyond reprieve.

Numbers could be far more higher in Jammu district; going by accounts of many people I know who refer to classified printed by girls who convert after marriage. But then there is no point abusing others when someone converts by her own wish or whatever reason or scheme.

Hindus would be a minority community in Kerala, Bengal & Assam like they are NE states, within a few decades.

From a minority, Hindus would become an endangered species & then, am extinct / disappeared species & finally they would exist only in myths not even in folklores, because no folklore dare mention the evil Hindoo "boot-parast" qaafir or hands would be cut & throats slashed, Kerala-WB public execution style.

Leftists would fall over each other in shouting & proving that they were no Hindoos or Hindoo culture in South India

Exactly, these gals get what they get deserve but its their families who have to pay.

And then, the converting Qaum gets stronger by day at the cost of native community.

As it has become clear that Islam cannot match Western powers militarily and has been unable to convert large numbers of non-Muslims through ideological persuasion, jihadis have taken to a new weapon: Love Jihad.
The strategy was first tried out in the United Kingdom but has spread to India.
Muslim men in their twenties will lure teenage girls to fall in love with them and slowly brainwash them to become Muslims. Subsequently the girls are used as tools to spread Islam to their parents, brothers, sisters and so on.
In the UK, Sikh and Hindu girls were the first targets but the practice has later been used on white girls. Attractive Muslim men are groomed to entice the girls not because they love them, but because they want to use love to conduct jihad in order to Islamize the country.

The strategy is successful because the girls suffer no violence and are not threatened â€“ at least initially. No law is broken and there is nothing the police and intelligence agencies can do to counter this form of jihad.
In an interview with the BBC in January 2011 former Home Secretary Jack Straw complained that some white girls are â€œeasy meatâ€ for abuse and that they were targeted by â€œAsianâ€, i.e., primarily Pakistani men.
â€œThere is a specific problem which involves Pakistani heritage men â€¦ who target vulnerable young white girls,â€ said Mr Straw, who did not link the phenomenon to any Jihadi strategy.
Hindu and Sikh organizations in the U.K. have openly accused Pakistani men of specifically targeting Hindu and Sikh girls. â€œThis has been a serious concern for the last decade,â€ said Hardeep Singh of the Network of Sikh Organizations (NSO).

Love Jihad also known as â€œRomeo Jihadâ€ has provoked strong reactions in the Indian states of Punjab and Kerala, where Sikh, Christian and Hindu organizations have raised their voices, as has the Indian nationalist party, the BJP. Keralaâ€™s leftist government has, however, denied that Love Jihad takes place and accused non-Muslim organizations of disrupting harmony in the country by singling out Muslims.
Opponents of Islamization claim that the Kerala police have been subjected to political pressure to deny that the phenomenon exists.
However, the Communist ex-Chief Minister of Kerala V.S. Achutanandan has accused Muslims of using money and love to make Kerala an Islamic state.
Kerala has had ties with the Middle East even before Islam arrived in India. Many Arabs live in India and Gulf money has played a role in developing this erstwhile communist state.

In December 2009, Justice K.T. Sankaran for the Kerala High Court said that â€œsome outfitsâ€ had given their blessing to a â€œconcertedâ€ effort to convert girls in the wake of love affairs. There were, he reported, some 3,000 to 4,000 such incidents over a four-year period.
Mr Sankaran â€œfound indications of â€˜forcefulâ€™ religious conversions under the garb of â€˜loveâ€™â€, suggesting that â€œsuch â€œdeceptive actsâ€ might require legislative intervention to prevent.

Who knows she already converted... may be just not to make it public as it might decrease her TRP.

They always prey on easy targets and get away in the name of GOD and faith.
